A good try for your first attempt at deconstruction a contents page - going forward -I would like you to try and describe what you see rather than just repeating the information that is on the page. You use a term that I am unfamiliar with - what is the "pugs" region that you discuss above? Also you need to look at the meaning of framing - it means the way that diffeernt elements are positioned on the page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback and the term pug is usually at the top left or right of the page known as the ears. The prices of the paper, the logo or a promotion are positioned there. They are well placed to catch the reader's attention.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Kyle - I learn something new every day :0)
